Why does Antigone murder Creon?

She doesn't. She hangs herself rather than being trapped alive in a tomb. Creon comes to let her out, but she is already dead.


Why does Creon want the guards to hurry Antigone to her tomb?

Creon wants the guards to hurry to Antigone in the cave because Teiresias (the blind prophet) told him that two family members would die is Antigone did. So at that, Creon needed to save her.


How does Antigone treat Creon as she is taken to her tomb in 'Antigone'?

As though he does not exist to his face and critical behind his back are the ways in which Antigone treats Creon as she is taken to her tomb in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon is twice in her path when Princess Antigone is escorted from the royal palace to her imprisonment in a walled-up cave. Both times Creon heckles her and smirks about her lonely, miserable death away from all light and all companionship. Both times Antigone acts as though he is not even there, but once outside his presence criticizes his offensive law and finally curses him with the same degree of suffering.


What does Creon discover in Antigone's tomb at the end of Sophocles' play?

That he can't correct his error regarding Antigone and that he thereby is punished as predicted is what Theban King Creon discovers at his niece's tomb, at the end of the play 'Antigone' by Sophocles [496 B.C.E. - 406 B.C.E.].Specifically, Creon sentences his niece and future daughter-in-law to death for defying a law of no burial for perceived traitors to Thebes. But then Teiresias the blind prophet tells Creon to bury Antigone's brother Polyneices and to release Antigone from her death sentence for having tried to bury her brother. Teiresias warns that otherwise Creon stands to lose the life of his last child, Haemon. Creon lets Polyneices be buried in the Theban way. But he doesn't get to the remote cave where he has Antigone walled up in time to stop her suicide and the immediately subsequent suicide of Haemon.


Does Haemon rescue Antigone from her tomb?

No, Haemon doesn't rescue his first cousin and fiancee, Antigone, from her tomb. He arrives too late. She already has hanged herself with her own halter. Haemon tries to kill Theban King Creon, his father and Antigone's uncle. When he fails, he turns his sword upon himself. He dies holding onto Antigone.

What does Creon find when he finally goes to release Antigone from her tomb in 'Antigone'?

A dead niece and an angry and then dead son are what Creon finds when he finally goes to release Antigone from her tomb in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone commits suicide rather than die walled up in the remote cave to which she is sentenced by King Creon, her uncle and intended father-in-law. Prince Haemon, her first cousin and husband-to-be, finds her body hanging from the halter of her own clothes. When he sees his father, Haemon is so angry that he tries to kill Creon. When he fails, he turns the sword upon himself and dies.

What did John do when he arrived at the tomb of Jesus?

The Gospels of Matthew and Mark are quite clear that only thewomen, but none of the disciples went to the tomb of Jesus. Luke's Gospel is equally clear that only Peter went to the tomb. In John's Gospel, the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' ran with Peter to the tomb and, arriving first, looked in and saw it empty, but did not go in until Peter arrived. The second-century Church Fathers decided, by a limited process of elimination, that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' must have been John, so on this view it was John who looked into the sepulchre.
